Hi, I've just started looking at the SIMILE Timeline widget, which appears to be a most ingenious tool for displaying complex temporal data.
In playing with the component, I'm trying to represent different phases within projects on a timeline - much of it is reasonably straightforward based on the current architecture, but I'd like to be able to represent a project on a single line (row) with nested details, something along the lines of: +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Oswald interrogation | | o [_________________________] [__________] o| +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Where the bit between the square brackets represents a sub-duration, and the "o" are regular milestone type entries. The text descriptions for these can be hidden and presented when clicked, as with present. I would suggest that the data structure can be represented as nested events, along the lines of: <event start="Fri Nov 22 1963 14:25:00 GMT-0600" end="Fri Nov 22 1963 16:04:00 GMT-0600" isDuration="true" title="Oswald interrogation"> Oswald interrogation in Office of Captain Will Fritz. <event start="Fri Nov 22 1963 14:25:00 GMT-0600" title=""> ... </event> ... </event> or the JSON equivelents. Many thanks for such a fine presentation utility. Adrian
